› Quirky shops & cafes
Akihabara is where much of Japan's
otaku
(geek) culture is born. It's an alternat-
ive universe of maid cafes (where the waitresses dress like french maids) and
rā-
men
vending machines, anime collectibles and vintage video arcades. And you
don't have to be a geek yourself to appreciate this fascinating subculture.
